Game of Thrones Season 7 Finale

Tyrion’s Talk With Cersei Proves He’s The Hero We All Need On ‘Game Of Thrones’

This post contains spoilers from the Season 7 finale. The “Dragon Pit council” in this season’s finale was conceived with one idea in mind: for Jon Snow to bring back a wight and prove to all and sundry the truth of the danger beyond the Wall. But showing off a wight wasn’t enough. And after a long tense stand off, it turned out Dany’s Hand was invaluable, as Tyrion convinces Cersei to join the war.

Quite a few fans pointed out last week how harebrained the entire endeavor north of the Wall was. So harebrained in fact, one wonders whether or not Tyrion really meant for Snow & Co to return successfully, or if this was his quiet way of removing a growing distraction. Either way, it no longer matters. Jon and company arrived back, thanks to Dany, with the wight, and proved to everyone — even Tyrion — that they exist.

But that wasn’t enough. Cersei was certainly flustered by the truth staring her in the face. But she was only going into this war if she was assured of having the upperhand once they came out the other side. With Jon keeping his promise to bend the knee to Daenerys as soon as his knees worked again, that was not in the cards.

As far as Cersei saw it, she was giving up the Lannister army, and Jaime, to go fight something that would simply leave her more shorthanded when they got back to what she views as “the real war at hand.” Not good enough.

But just as everything seemed to be lost, Tyrion stepped up. After all the bumbling and failed plans, he decided to listen to Dany, and proved himself worthy as her Hand of the Queen. Instead of doing nothing, he followed Cersei out of the Dragon Pit and faced her down in her chambers, knowing she could easily have him murdered.

Not only did Tyrion’s negotiation instincts come in handy here, as he argued Cersei into a corner, but his drinking did too. Cersei who loves alcohol as much as he does, was not drinking. Combine that with a thoughtless hand-on-stomach moment, and Tyrion had the lever he needed to convince Cersei to agree to join the fight.

Making sure the next generation of Lannisters would have a world to survive in.

Looks like drinking and knowing things is still a viable way to live in Westeros. Someone pour that man a goblet of wine. He earned it.

‘Game Of Thrones’ Fans Can’t Get Over This One Line Off Taylor Swift’s New Single

Unless you live on a remote desert island (in which case you probably wouldn’t be reading this), you know the world’s most famous country-princess-turned-pop-star-turned-dark-queen, Taylor Swift, released a new single for the first time in three years last night, Aug. 24. The song “Look What You Made Me Do” is a noticeably dark departure from the upbeat pop anthems that we’re used to seeing from the wholesome star, but it bops. Naturally, the experts on Twitter just HAD to evaluate the singer’s latest musical endeavor, and, while doing so, some particularly savvy fans have noticed major similarities between Taylor Swift and character Arya Stark. Of course, as a result, jokes about Taylor Swift and Arya have consumed my timeline and, TBH, if there is one thing that could make Taylor Swift single release day better, this is it.

Most of the fans picked up on one line in Tay’s song where she sings “I’ve got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined,” and immediately compared Taylor’s list to Arya’s hit list. Some people took guesses as to who might be on Taylor’s list, some people suggested Arya might kill Ed Sheeran’s character with Taylor Swift’s face, some are lobbying for the bop to be Arya’s theme song, and others think Taylor is more of a Cersei, LOL. One thing’s for sure, though, laugh all you want, but I wouldn’t wanna be on either of their lists.

okay so what i’m getting from #LookWhatYouMadeMeDo is that taylor swift is now either arya stark or santa pic.twitter.com/iDlLElfLG6

Can we all agree that Taylor Swift’s new single is Arya Stark’s theme song? No? Just me? Ok.

I wonder how Ed Sheeran is going to be killed off the show? Maybe by Arya with Taylor Swift’s face.. #GameOfThrones #GOT

Taylor Swift thinks she’s Arya Stark with this new bop but she’s actually Cersei

— Cady Lang (@cadylang) August 25, 2017

Honestly, the comparison does make sense; it’s not just the list, it’s an entire persona. Taylor’s new era attitude is all about saying goodbye to the former, weaker version of herself and welcoming a stronger, harder iteration into the world; indeed, if there’s one standout line from Taylor’s new song it’s, “I’m sorry, the old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now. Why? !” If that doesn’t give you intense flashbacks of Arya before she was a ruthless assassin, then I don’t know what will. All I know is this better not be Taylor’s way of hinting at a cameo because I swear I’m still complaining to anyone who’ll listen about Ed Sheeran’s guest spot.

‘Game of Thrones’ star opens up about postpartum depression

(CNN)Lena Headey is used to waging battles as Cersei on “Game of Thrones,” but in real life she’s fought some tough fights of her own.

“I was postnatally depressed but I didn’t know it,” she said, using the medical term most often used in the U.K. “I saw a doctor for the medical check, and I just burst into tears. She said I was postnatally depressed and I went, ‘Am I? Why is that?'”

Headey said she sought treatment and was helped, “but I did the first year [on ‘Game of Thrones’] in that space, figuring out motherhood and going through a weird time personally.”

“It was tricky,” she said.

Headey and Williams were chatting in support of the upcoming penultimate season of “Game of Thrones.”

HBO on Friday released new — incredibly vague — descriptions for the first three episodes of the new season, which will be titled “Dragonstone,” “Stormborn,” and “The Queen’s Justice.”

The network teased that the premiere would see Cersei, who at the end of last season ascended to the Iron Throne, try “to even the odds.”

When asked by Williams who she would like to see on the Iron Throne at the series’ end, Headey replied: “I think she’s already sitting there, isn’t she?”

“Game of Thrones” debuts July 16.
